Rubricator

n. /ˈruː.brɪ.keɪ.tər/

from Latin ruber, "red"

historical

A specialized medieval scribe who added text in red ink — headings, emphasis, new sections — to make what mattered most visible at a glance. The practice began in pharaonic Egypt, where scribes marked key passages in red on papyri. Rubrication comes from the Latin rubricāre, "to color red."

A rubricator makes the most important elements of learning and assessment visible — to the teacher and the student — through the rubric.

"Make the descriptors more specific and observable"
"Add a criterion for [discipline-specific skill]"
